Jerry McGuire, show me the value

Disney Institute classroom flipcharts — Simple and the big picture are synonymous.

Creating value is an interesting challenge for me and my business at this stage (three years on my own).

In a couple weeks i will order the iPhone X.

i will order it no matter the price.

Why?

Because the value i perceive is worth whatever it costs, and, no matter the cost.

Now (and for a long time), i’m noodling creative solutions to remove price sensitivity.

Everything we do falls into one of two categories

Executive Speakers Bureau — First question: My client wants to review your speaker videos.

Everything we do falls into one of two categories:

Risky.

Safe.

Every potential client i speak with wants to know if i have speaking video clips.

i don’t.

Intentionally.

It’s literally unheard of.

Why do it the opposite way from the industry standard?

Because i only preach what i practice.

Two inspired mistakes that turned out to be winners

Hurricane Matthew map — 2am – restless night.

Two inspired (and one uninspired) mistakes that turned out to be winners.

Used a prototype laptop (iPhone 7 Plus) for the very first time in 17 years of full-time speaking. This potential (yet inspired) mistake included using a prototype slide clicker (iPhone 7).
Changed my necktie three times the first day, to coincide with three significant content topic changes. This didn’t qualify as an inspired mistake, but i did enjoy doing it for the first time ever.
Wore jeans and running shoes for the first time. Steve Jobs inspired that one.

Why were these firsts?

The iPhone’s capabilities have improved compared to when i was at Disney.

Disney has an intentional set of dress code standards and i followed the Disney standards for the first two years being out on my own.

Until this week.

i love preaching what i practice.

Take them on a roller coaster ride

Audience laughter — Provide them with laughter and allow them time to cry, if it will help.

Take them on a roller coaster ride. Provide them with laughter. Let them cry if that will help. Let them experience your message first hand. Make sure they feel it.

Caution.

Resist the temptation to tell them.

You tell them and they’ll ever remember.

Help them discover it for themselves and they’ll never forget.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Beginner’s luck meets the worlds most powerful brand, Disney

Just one day prior to Fortune’s Most Admired list, Disney was named World’s Most Powerful Brand.

Beginner’s luck runs in my Family.

Had no idea when i was hired in 1982, that working at Disney for 30+ years would provide a special place in the professional speaker marketplace.

Most business leaders recognize the powerful, common sense approach Disney maintains and continuously improves.
